[Listen] Stream Holy Ghost!'s Funky New Single "Dumb Disco Ideas"

I'm a huge fan of Holy Ghost!, so when they dropped a new track this morning I was giddy as hell. The duo, made up of Alex Frankel and Nick Millhiser, has that distinct DFA sound reminiscent of the late LCD Soundsystem, and this new cut "Dumb Disco Ideas" holds true to that. With the guidance of a thumping kickdrum and funky bassline, the song ropes you into six minutes of groovy, disco-inspired awesomeness. Check it out below paired with its simple visuals.

Frankel and Millhiser are back with their sophomore album Dynamics later this year, and "Dumb Disco Ideas" gives a great sense of what we can expect.

[Watch] Check Out Future Unlimited's Dark Video for "Haunted Love," Directed by Shia LeBeouf

Nashville duo Future Unlimited's debut self-titled EP was, for me, a standout from last year, combining a great synth-pop sound with tons of '80s influence. Since then they've released a couple of standalone singles, one of which was "Haunted Love." The song now has a dark video worthy of its eerie tones.

The pair have been pimping this clip for a while, and with good reason. Sitting in the director's chair is actor Shia LaBeouf, who is no stranger to music videos—he starred in Sigur Rós' video for "Fjögur Píanó" and has directed videos for Marilyn Manson and Kid Cudi. The clip for "Haunted Love" stars band member Dave Miller alongside LaBeouf's girlfriend Mia Goth, who take us through a disturbing tale of love. Watch it below.

[Watch] Electric Guest - "This Head I Hold" (Video)

It's been a while since we've heard from Electric Guest. They released their fantastic debut album Mondo (I strongly recommend you check it out) over a year ago but have stayed relatively quiet since then. But, the duo are back with a new video, pairing the Danger Mouse-produced "This Head I Hold" with footage of passionate dancers in rural Russia. Watch the video below, and after the jump you can read the full story behind the video and the dancers.

[Album Stream] The Dillinger Escape Plan - 'One Of Us Is The Killer'

I've been super hyped to hear the new album from The Dillinger Escape Plan and this week my itch got well and truly scratched. The band have offered up One Of Us Is The Killer in its entirety via Pitchfork, so what are you waiting for? Go listen! The album delivers every aspect we've come to expect from the band. Intricate layers of intensely precise guitar hooks, ear belting vocals, along with bass lines and drum beats to shake your soul. They all come together and intertwine perfectly to deliver a well rounded and undeniably powerful package that will keep you coming back for more. It's been worth the wait. 

It dropped today (May 14th) via band's own Party Smasher Inc., in partnership with Sumerian Records so if you want to pick up a copy head over to iTunes. Support these guys. Also if you ever get the chance to see them live, do it! Your eyes will be opened to a whole new world of possibilities.

[Listen] Fun Adults - "Peek and Punch"

I introduced you to Fun Adults last October via their track "Acacia" followed up "Sap Solid". Today they've offered up "Peek and Punch", a laid back joint that reminds me of Radiohead in places? It could just be my mind playing tricks on me but I like it a lot. Check it out below to see if you agree with me.

Handsome Dad Records will release "Peek and Punch" on the 27th May.

[Listen] Andrea - 'Cruising' (Full EP)

We've previously heard of Andrea via a remix of The 1975's "You" late last year. That was a fair while ago but now the Paris based producer is beginning to gain more speed and has offered up his EP Cruising as a download and you can pay what you want via Bandcamp. Beautiful stuff with some nice added remixes to boot. Check out the full thing below.

[Watch] Eagles of Death Metal & Jack Black on The Gorburger Show

Until earlier this year I had absolutely no idea what the hell The Gorburger Show was and what it entailed. Having seen a preview of it earlier in the year I've been keeping an eye out online and watching clips intermittently. It's pretty entertaining stuff. This morning while sipping on a cup of tea in the office I noticed Antiquiet had posted a video of the show featuring Eagles of Death Metal including Josh Homme and Jack Black. What's not to like? Check out the ridiculous interview above. After that it even features a performance of "I Only Want You" by EODM.
